Description
This wine, a Blanc de Noir from Friuli-Venezia Giulia, originates from Torre Rosazza (Udine) in a soil named "Ponca", a soil that shows low fertility and good capacity to hold water giving the wine a full-bodied taste and colour, tannins, and minerality. Vineyards are located at the top of the hills with a perfect exposure that allows the full ripening of the grapes. The remarkable temperatures and the good ventilation from the Adriatic Sea give tasty and sugary grapes.

In the Colli Orientali del Friuli, and especially in Torre Rosazza, the growing of grapevines has a very ancient history. Already known in Roman times, grapes were also grown in the Middle Ages, along with other crops such as olives and grains. In those years, wine was a commodity or a bargaining chip that demonstrated a family’s wealth.
Noble elegance. The history of Torre Rosazza has been tied to the Antonini family, part of the Udine nobility, since the 1600s. Already the lords of the agricultural estate, the Antonini restored the medieval tower and built the villa that became their home in the hills: Turris Rosacea.
After the Antonini, Torre Rosazza passed to the De Marchi family. But more than any other event, the biggest mark on its history was left by the two World Wars. After the Battle of Caporetto, the estate came under Austrian control before returning to Italy at the end of the war. During the World War II it was the scene of fighting between the German occupation army and the Italian Resistance. Read more
